    Radeon 4670 or PSU not functioning properly?

    Termie and happy medium are the winners! For those who might have a similar problem: I've got my rig back from the service yesterday and after several tests I can say it works as it should! They changed the PSU, so I guess that's what had caused the problems! Tnx to everyone for your help!

    Radeon 4670 or PSU not functioning properly?

    I don't feel any change in the airflow with my hand from either side of the case or the back of it. First I set Afterburner to 25% fan speed and then change to 100%, airflow's the same. The pc is under warranty as a whole and opening the case will invalidate it. Guess I'll have to RMA it, I just...

    Radeon 4670 or PSU not functioning properly?

    Speedfan reports only one fan, fan1 working at 3400rpm. In gpu-z log file it says 165.0 rpm, but in sensors tab it doesn't read the speed. Also, the speed in the log file is always 165.0rpm except ingame when it's 750rpm, even when I set the fan at 100%. Could it be that the sensor measuring the...

    Radeon 4670 or PSU not functioning properly?

    Cpu temp idle is some 45c, when under stress it goes up to 70c, never more. The temp of the gpu when ingame slowly goes from idle 54c to 80c where it hangs for some 20 secs and then the crash occurs. Maybe just a coincidence. The gpu from the link seems like mine, but weirdly I can't find a...

    Radeon 4670 or PSU not functioning properly?

    So here are the results: -MSI Afterburner - fan speed set to 100%, gpu 750 mhz, memory 873 mhz (deafult clocks): idle is 52-55 °C, ingame crash after some 20 secs at 84-85 °C at the moment. -MSI Afterburner - fan speed set to 100%, gpu 750 mhz (seems to be the minimum), memory...

    Radeon 4670 or PSU not functioning properly?

    Yes, it was RMA'ed. Though then I had it crashing to the desktop with several games, so another kind of crashing. I monitored the temps in gpu-z continuously (1 sec interval) for the current issue. When it crashed (the new gpu) I checked the gpu-z log file after restart and the readings were...

    Radeon 4670 or PSU not functioning properly?

    You're right! Tnx! GPU load is round 95% ingame, but it crashes even when the load is lower than that! In Windows, the GPU temp is round 55 °C idle, and it crashes when it reaches 80 °C ingame and stays so some 30 secs! Are these temps enough reason for it to crash and if so, what should I do to...

    Radeon 4670 or PSU not functioning properly?

    Recently I've changed my faulty radeon hd4670 for another one. I've also added another hdd. Then lately games like PoP: The Forgotten Sands and Starcraft 2 have started crashing with a grayish/blackish screen with vertical lines and irritating noise. Only the hard reset helps then. I've run some...

    Phenom 9550 at 1100Mhz only

    I was searching for the answer to this question for some 10ish days, but no luck, and then saw this great forum. The forum is great and provides lots of useful info. I hope I post it in the right place, so here's the deal: I had played games for a longer time until I suspected they crash or...
